Well loaded yesterday in West Monroe, But that was a fiasco and didn't leave till after 1500. Only made North Little rock today instead of getting into the state of misery. Soooooo that meant driving today. Weekend was shot. On the plus side no curfew in the morning because I'm on the Ks side.

are mack fans a endangered species ?
slpwlker replied to 41180's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Thats it. i take my dog, and my fiance. We are also out 3 to 5 months at a time. Or unless I find a load going home. We spend alot of time in motels. But if we had that small bunk it would be everyday. I would love a 70" or something like the Kw 86 done up right. We got a 63 now and it is just to small. A 70 or so done right has alot of room. Unless your getting Mack rears or Motor and trans it is just another truck just with a Bulldog on it. When I get ready to upgrade or add to my fleet I'll look at Mack first. Probably not going to get a real heavy spec truck like my Pete unless one falls in my lap for a great price. Probably just get a light spec'd truck and eith drive it myself or put someone in it. -

hell it is already leaning to the left side. I think I would climb into the right side as it might crush you -

hell half those pricks won't wave to me and I am in a Pete. They are kinda cliquish. Bull Racks generally only wave to bull racks, Dump buckets to other dumps and so on and so forth. I usually wave to everyone when I feel like being socialble -

one thing I forgot as crazy as it sounds riding down low is pretty comfortable. Friend of mine told me that and I thought he was off his rocker. I tried it and still do it to this day. Not all the time but I'll ride low. But seat comes up if I need to manuver where I need the extra line of site. Usually ride with enough air not to bottom out unless it is a huge bump -

now you guys need to contemplate this. MACK won't build you what you want. or it is taking them to damn long to come out with a resonable sleeper for the Titan. EVERY OTHER manufacturer will build you damn near anything you want and how you want it spec'd. It's as simple as that. Mack wants to play with the big boys and have more sales build what the customers want and not dictate this is what we will build. That being said I'll put my Pete against any Mack out there in a pull. and go just about anywhere with my trailer in tow. Mack had a chance to get a customer out of me a few times. what I was told. This is what we have take it or leave it. If I wanted a small sleeper short wheel base I would of gotten that. They didn't want to deal found someone that would. also Volvo won't put the 625 in anthing other then the 800 series Trucks. Why would I want to get a heavy spec'd truck and not have the big motor. Not knocking them to much but I have to get my equipment with who wants to play ball and have what I need. Sorry for the rant.. -
in Fl they like to reword stuff and it is not in the book. Makes you think alot more. Had a book forget the name but it had every concieveable question they would ask. spun 15 different ways.

I think it looks interesting. But now the trans? Looks like a 13 speed mated to the back of a super 10. Unless I just can't see the flip switch on the front of the grey knobed shifter. The seat bases ehh as I'm not into purple to much. or checker board. I do like the shifters. Doors are unique. -
Idk I grew up around trucks and equipment. Learned to drive a 14 wheeler when I was 6 or 7, I figured trailers would be easy. Pulled a few with my pickup and tried to get the company I was running a dozer for to help me out on the CDL. No luck. Went to a "school" more along the lines the tested you and you could rent there truck. Downfall was only truck they had was a go matic. 4 hours later I had my CDL and then the fun began. No one would hire me or I had no otr time. even after I drove for 3 years but all in state. Read the book,Take the test, Learn your weak spots and study for those.

converting Eaton 9 speed to 13 speed
slpwlker replied to dds92780's topic in Engine and Transmission
Food for thought. Make sure you got the motor to turn the 13. I know a guy that took a good running 9 speed and put a 13 speed in. Truck was a slug after that. Just didn't have enough motor and the top gears where supposedley the same. -
